Summary: I bought these headphones 6 months ago. They sounded really nice in comparison to Senn PX100. I would say a lot better than PX100. Bass was fuller but not boomy, highs were better too. Maybe the bass was little muddy but it got a little bit better with time and it sounded more concrete after a few weeks. Generally the sound was well-balanced for the price. I play guitar so I was suddenly able to hear a major difference in guitar sound.

Summary: For the prize, these sound amazing! I was extremly happy about my purchase until the headband broke. I only used them normally, with no extreme stretching at all. It is made of fragile plastic. This happened after just one month of usage. I might try to build a custom headband, and keep the cups :)
Also, for me, a person with a big head and hair, the headphones sits quite tightly. I have the headband extended to the largest.

Beautiful sound, but the plastic headband snapped!

Summary: Initially this unit (shipped as K520) gave a rich full sound and was very comfortable to wear. It comes with about 3 m of high quality audio lead built-in and an eighth inch plug with a high-quality quarter inch adapter. It has an open back design which of course means that ambient sound is not excluded. 5* so far. After 13 months of light use, however, the headband snapped. So far, neither AKG not Amazon will honour the two year warranty.

Great

decent.

Summary: Bought a pair of these a few months ago, had to return them due to the headband snapping but got sent a new pair very quickly. The sound quality is very good but can sometimes be a tiny bit bassy, altogether good sound quality. Only problem is the headband system need to be made stonger. VERY GOOD BUY.

Excerpt: I use it for one day. I have tried many models and it is part of having headphones caught my attention. Indeed, I was looking for a lightweight headphone, a slightly warm and well defined bass round to listen to all kinds of music from jazz to the House)
